fixing/ disable jumpy mouse on touch screen laptop linux

 defrysk@dell:~$ lsmod | grep touch

result for me -> : hid_multitouch

defrysk@dell:~$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/hid_multitouch.conf


# Use the following syntax

# blacklist driver-name

blacklist hid_multitouch

ctrl-x and y to save


And reboot  and no more jumpy mouse.. 

that did not work so ..

No more Wayland, switching to  Xorg:

defrysk@dell:~$ sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

This bit:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

change to

MatchIsTouchscreen "off"

and save and logout .

No more touchscreen.

and/or:

Edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf.

Add Option "Ignore" "on" 

to the end of the section with the touchscreen identifier.
Reboot.

Notes for installing nordvpn on linux

I gave up on the Nordvpn App. it is to unstable and cumbersome for me.

So I set up nord vpn up manually with networkmanager.

It seems stable and it 'just' works.

My advise to NordVPN is to ditch the app until it just 'works'

because for now its a piece of crap.

Notes below are for those who wish to try the app anyway:

Whitelist printer:

nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.2.0/24

nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.1.0/24 

nordvpn whitelist add subnet 10.0.0.0/16

Whitelist plex media server port:

nordvpn whitelist add port 32400



Remove ipv6 to prevent crashing

script to prevent crashing:

defrysk@dell:~$ nordvpn set autoconnect on 

Auto-connect is set to 'enabled' successfully.


- install wireguard-tools and openresolve -

defrysk@dell:~$ nordvpn set technology nordlynx

Technology is successfully set to 'NORDLYNX'. #wireguard
